I think the best-practice these days is to redeploy versus clone (for Linux). With kickstart, post-install and configuration management, it's almost faster to do so. There should be a way to do what you're asking, though. I just think that the customization/cloning options for Linux on VMWare are limited.

Have you thought that the MAC address of the virtual nic changes when you clone and hence it is more likely that it is the linux startup scripts that change the configuration instead of something from VMware?
